KMBC's Matt Evans reported that about dozen vehicles were broken into earlier this week along the Interstate 29 corridor.

"I just always lock my doors. In fact, my husband makes fun of me because I lock them even at home. I make sure to take everything inside whenever I'm parking anywhere or cover anything up if I leave it in the car," resident Jennifer Nixon said.

Police recommend keeping valuable items out of sight and placing them in the trunk.

"I think if it's important to you, you should put it away or take it in with you, if you don't want it taken. You're kind of inviting theft if you leave it where people can see," Nixon said.
